Under South Carolina law, what is the statutory unposted maximum speed limit in an urban district or residential area?
The answer
Answer: B. On page 24: 'The maximum un-posted speed limit in an urban district or residential area is 30 miles per hour.'. South Carolina speed laws require motorists to reduce speed below this statutory limit when approaching sharp curves, intersections, pedestrian crosswalks, or congested neighborhood streets. Driving faster than 30 miles per hour in residential areas endangers pedestrians and children.

What is the statutory unposted maximum speed limit in a rural area in South Carolina, unless federal law or state signs permit a higher limit?
The answer
Answer: D. According to page 24 of the manual: 'The maximum un-posted speed limit in a rural area is 55 miles per hour except when a higher limit is allowed by the federal law.'. Higher rural interstate limits apply only when specifically posted by official highway authorities on designated multi-lane or controlled-access thoroughfares. Unless a higher limit is officially posted, never exceed 55 mph on rural two-lane state highways.
